London, UK, 7 September 2011:

Recognizing the significance of investing in Mistika, established and leading Canadian post company Creative Post, has purchased an SGO Mistika 4K post production system with Stereo 3D DI capabilities. Celebrating the expansion of the Stereoscopic 3D post facility with the installation of a 4K Stereo DI Theatre, Creative Post will focus their use of Mistika predominantly on Stereo 3D DI projects and dailies workflow. Toronto-based, Creative Post is one of Canada’s premier post-production facilities, and continues to offer advanced technologies and workflows to some of the industry’s largest broadcasters and filmmakers for over 25 years.

Ken MacNeil, president and co-owner of the Creative Post group of companies is also a consultant to producers and directors looking to shoot Stereo 3D feature films. As a leading expert in the industry, he and his team of experienced professionals, offer full-service production to clients in North America, Europe and around the world. Ken states:

“We are very excited to be involved with SGO and its revolutionary product Mistika, which brings powerful capabilities. The volume of 3D post-production has risen dramatically over the last year. Mistika allows us to maintain tight production schedules and more importantly, to meet ever tighter budget constraints. Knowing what can be efficiently and accurately corrected in post, has also greatly increased our efficiencies on set as well.”

Geoff Mills, Director of SGO Global Sales and Operations confirms:

“SGO is delighted that Creative Post has put their trust in Mistika and that the team has been blown away by SGO’s technology. There has been an increase in interest of Mistika in the Canadian market which is tremendously positive. We look forward to a long term partnership with Creative Post and will be here to support them in their exciting projects.”

Recent projects completed at Creative Post include Michael Flately’s “Lord of the Dance”, Canada Over the Edge and the IMAX film, “Born to be Wild”.
